CHARM IS DECEITFUL
Proverbs 31:30-31 (30) – Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised. (ESV)
Read: Proverbs 3:5-6; 23:5
There was a story of a man who proposed to a rich man’s daughter. However, the lady mockingly rejected him and said, “I can never love you; go for someone at your level.” Ten years later, the two saw each other, and the lady said, “I’m now married to a man who earns $15,700 monthly. Can you beat that?” The man looked visibly upset, but before he could speak, the lady’s wealthy husband responded, “Sir? I see you’ve met my wife.” He then said to his wife, “This is my boss. He owns the $100 million company I work for!” The man smiled and left.
The lady stood flabbergasted and said, “That was your boss?”. The husband answered, “Yes, he is a wonderful man. He once told me the woman he loved rejected him because he wasn’t earning enough. Therefore, he worked hard to become a multi-millionaire businessman. But he couldn’t move on from the heartache.”
Beloved, this is a great lesson, especially for our youth. As seen in today’s Bible reading, you shouldn’t marry or get into a relationship because of wealth or beauty. Don’t yield to family or peer pressure, and never judge a man because of his present worth; so far, he has potential. Instead, depend on the Holy Spirit, who knows everything; He will not mislead you. Perhaps past broken relationships have haunted you. Be thankful to God. It might be His way of saving you from impending danger. The best is right ahead of you. Hold on and trust God!
PRAYER
Hymn: I Must Tell Jesus – Elisha A. Hoffman (1894)
1. Holy Spirit, open my eyes to see and my heart to know the unknown.
(MIDNIGHT PRAYER)
1. I speak the blood of Jesus against the root of marital problems in my life and lineage.
2. Every verdict that says I will never be happily married, scatter!
3. I decree: My marriage will not fail, nor shall it destroy my destiny.
